MACHINE IFOR WRAPPING WARP-CHAINS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 587,194, dated July 27,1897. Application led November 7, 1896. Serial No. 611,415. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, EDWARD T. GARSED, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Greensborough, North Carolina, have invented certainImprovements in Machines for Wrapping Warp-Chains, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of my invention is to construct a machine which will wrap athread around a warp-chain, so as to prevent the warps in the chainbecoming separated and entangled during the process of boiling, dyeing,or bleaching, which is done before the thread is beamed or quilled.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, the figure represents a side Viewof my improved machine for wrapping warp-chains.

A is the frame of the machine, of any suitable construction, and mountedon this frame is a standard B, on which is Xed a bobbin, spool, cone, ortube D, having an open center, and on which is the thread used forWrapping the warp-chains.

E is a brake of any suitable construction, haying weights e, so as toregulate the friction, the brake being so formed as to always rest uponthe surface of the bobbin.

is the warp-chain, which passes from a spool O in the present instance,but it may pass from a ball.

C is a carrier-roller mounted in suitable bearings for guiding theWarp-chain. The Warp-chain passes through the bracket B and through thebobbin or spool and between rolls F F to the can or other receptacle G.In the present instance the roll F is provided with a belt-Wheel f andis driven from any convenient power-shaft. This is the only driven partof the machine. The spool is stationary, and as the Warp-chain is drawnthrough the bobbin or spool by the feed-rolls F F the threadfrom thebobbin, which in the first instance is attached to the Warp-chain,passes onto the chain, and as it unwinds from the spool it travelsaround the warp, so that it is laid upon the warp in a spiral manner.The amount of tension applied by the brakeE will decide how tight thethread shall be Wound upon the Warp.

It will thus be seen that I am enabled to make a very simple machine forwrapping warp-threads, and which, While shown in the accompanyingdrawing as an independent machine, can nevertheless be applied to anymachine making Warps or chains.' It will also be understood that themachine may bearranged vertically instead of horizontally and may bearranged in an inclined position, depending altogether upon adjacentmachines.

The machine made in accordance With my invention can be run at a greaterspeed-than any machine heretofore made for the same purpose, as thethread will be placed upon the Warp by the simple unwinding of thebobbin or spool as fast as the warp-chain can be drawn through thebobbin or spool.`

I claim as my invention-- The combination in a machine for WrappingWarp-chains, of the. bracket carrying a fixed bobbinor spool having anopen center, feedrolls for drawing the warp through the-bobbin or spooland a brake resting upon the threads Wound on the spool or bobbin,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
